Lewis Schmidt Initial interview date: February 5, 1988 Copyright 1998 ADST Q: Ed, I would like you to start out by giving us a background as to where you came from, what your experience was growing up in Vienna, and then primarily how you got out of Vienna at the time of the Nazi invasion. Finally your experiences after fleeing Vienna— how you got to America, and so forth. Why don't you pick it up from the beginning and start there. YOUTHFUL YEARS IN VIENNA SCHECHTER: Thank you, Lew. I was raised in Vienna, and left Vienna a few days after Hitler's Army marched into Austria. I had by that time finished my university studies and received the famous Austrian title of doctor, which is extremely useful in Central Europe, but I never use it in this country. I was active from my very early youth in Jewish movements. My university years coincided with the ever growing Nazi movement paralleling the Nazi takeover in Germany. So I was in Vienna, part of the Jewish community of Vienna: 200,000 people, 10% of the population of Vienna and I should have seen, at least it looks like it in retrospective—that the end of Interview with Edmund Schechter http://www.loc.gov/item/mfdipbib001024 Library of Congress Austria was inevitable.
